Now that the others have posted, I'll throw in my two cents. The
beauty of the trip cannot be overstated, what a paradise! For all who
frequently begin posts with, "I'm new to collecting..." or, "I don't know
much about natives...", don't pass up one of these trips in your area. I
learn so much in such a short time of "hands on" field work that I might
otherwise miss just reading about it on the list. Operating the
electro-fishing unit was a real thrill! Patrick and I were wondering if
there might be room in future issues of AC for a "Rookie Corner". If we
were able to share some fundamentals of collecting that are commonplace to
all you pros, the novice enthusiasts might have better results. What do you
think, Mr. Editor?
